Hi, I want to use 10 second bars to see how that candle behaved and for example want all the bars to close above the low of first bar in new minute so want to have it analyzed on every 0:0:50 time so 9:31:50 9:32:50 9:33:50 and so on. Can I use astericks in BARTIME? This doesn't seem to work and would hope I don't have to have a ton of OR statements OR(BARTIME=TIMEVALUE("9:30:50"),BARTIME=TIMEVALUE("9:31:50"),BARTIME=TIMEVALUE("9:32:50")) |

To have an alert at the 50 second mark of every minute, use the following formula: =FRACTIME(BARTIME * 24 * 60) * 60 = 50 Note that this does require that your bar period is a multiple that goes into 50 seconds, such as 10 seconds or 5 seconds. But a bar period of 1 minute will not work, as the BARTIME is the start of the bar. If you want an alert at the 50 second mark regardless of the bar period (so based on computer clock time) then use the following: =INT(FRACTIME(NOW() * 24 * 60) * 60) = 50 For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Hi, I tried =FRACTIME(BARTIME * 24 * 60) * 60 = 50 and it will color the background at that time and then after the color goes away or if I have a signal with it its gone after. I want to have a 10 second chart and analyze the *:*:50 ie 9:30:50 9:31:50. I don't just want it to work live at that time I want the signal on that bar to stay. I guess there's no way other than to write an or statement with EXACT times 9:30:50, 9:31:50,9:32:50...... 15:59:50 That's 390 different times I'll have to code up from 9:30am to 16:00pm. If that's only way I guess I'll create another separate signal and then reference that with what I really want to do at the 50 second mark. Since each bar is 10 seconds each *:*:50 is at same time just want a way to reference that bar's time once if possible. |

The coloring should not go away if you are using 10 second bars and that particular formula. What study are you using to color the background?
